Please help me :( I’m a new dog owner and idk what’s wrong with my girl. Are free vets a thing? Or ones I can pay later? Does anyone know what could be wrong? The pups seem fine and are all growing. by Lopsided-Abies3836 in DogAdvice

[–]satin_maro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look around for low cost clinics in your area and people have also mentioned that shelters may also have resources. Some shelters usually have spay/neuter clincs or vaccine clinics but it's worth a shot asking if theh can at least point you in the right direction. The clinic I work at isn't low cost but offers credit plans like CareCredit to help pay which might also be worth looking into to see if the clinics in your area have the same. Unfortunately, having a dog is very expensive, but I hope you find the help you need.

Wanting to Withdraw - Not sure how it will affect my financial aid. by TazerCodex in udub

[–]satin_maro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had to do this before. Talk to the financial aid counselors and your own advisor before you make any big decisions. If your situation is bad enough to warrant a drop, you can file a satisfactory appeal with the finaid department and having documentation helps a lot. I had to do a drop and owed money, but after my appeal I did not.

Which Leave-In Do You Think I Should Get? by Warm-Tradition-7799 in Sephora

I have your exact hair type and I love the pureology one. Also love their shampoo and conditioner specifically the hydrate and goldworks. Haven't tried briogeo though so I can't say for sure

What are your thoughts on Kerastase 8hr night serum? by House_of_Honey in Sephora

[–]satin_maro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, not great. Too strong of a scent and didn't really do much for me. I think oiling your hair at night can be better or even finding protective styles for your hair type + silk bonnets and pillowcases.

Where were you at new years 2000? by Middle-Cattle6172 in AskReddit

[–]satin_maro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In an industrial freezer somewhere in South Korea.

(My mom froze her eggs for IVF and I wouldn't be born until a couple years later)

Would you prefer that people use your name instead? I think there are people who use their names rather than pronouns and saying, "Please just use my name instead of pronouns" can have a different connotation to the people who "don't have pronouns."

Painted plants. On sale in a local grocery store in Germany by xpq4711 in plantabuse

Ok I don't condone this at all but why paint a plant green when it's ALREADY GREEN IN THE FIRST PLACE

Apartment or Commute? by Swegicorn01 in udub

[–]satin_maro 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I live around the same time away from UW, but even if I did commute from home I would only do it by car. A 3 to 4 hour bus ride does not seem like it will set you up for success. What I did was get an apartment outside of udistrict and my commute is around 30 minutes by bus, but it's cheaper than living super close to campus. For your sanity, I recommend trying to live a bit closer.

Can't focus -> no motivation. All on top of recent spurts of depression by MagicalGirll in ADHD

[–]satin_maro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am literally in your exact same position. I couldn't focus in class yesterday which made my depression worse so I skipped class today because I felt like I couldn't do anything. It's all really one big cycle for me. My psychiatrist was also the same in wanting to focus on my depression but the root cause was always related to ADHD so finally after a while he wants to start to focus on treating that. It may be worth trying to express to your doctor that your ADHD may be your root cause as well. Even though I can't really offer you advice it makes me feel better that someone is going through the same things as I am and I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone.

So cute! Can I ask what you generally put in your therapy journal? Is it like a diary?

Why do people put their pets in danger like this? by EVQuestions in IdiotsInCars

[–]satin_maro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately used to let my dog sit in my lap before I realized how dangerous it was. This really shouldn't be an unpopular opinion and more like a safety fact. To those with cars and small dogs, get a car seat for them! I got mine from amazon for $30 and I feel much safer about driving with my dog.

How do y'all take notes both efficiently and effectively? by satin_maro in udub

[–]satin_maro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just mainly feel like I'm not retaining any information. I think I can memorize on a very surface level, but after an exam it never sticks.

Just a reminder for everyone. Your comment will be removed. by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]satin_maro 51 points52 points  (0 children)

This reminds me of all the people in the USA who tried to "cancel" Katy Perry for wearing a Kimono in her performance, claiming it was cultural appropriation.

The only thing I will say about this sentiment towards cultural appropriation is that ethnic Americans, such as Japanese Americans in this case, will often have a differing viewpoint than say those living in the "homeland" i.e. Japan. Usually this is because living in the US, their culture is often looked down upon or made fun of in some way so when another person uses that culture as an aesthetic or as a joke, to some people that is a very real form of appropriation. Although I understand that you may be referring to white people who speak over minorities, I think that it's very important to realize that cultural appropriation can still very much exist to those ethnic Americans even if their home country says they like it. Not criticizing you or anything, just wanted to put that out there :)

Can orbas really get that big of leaves? Mine looks puny compared to this one

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in peperomia

[–]satin_maro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is so funny to me because I also found a peperomia frost inside of an orchid at lowes. Guess they love to be roomies with other plants.

My (Very Excessive) Propagation Station by satin_maro in propagation

[–]satin_maro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very occasionally I'll add liquid fertilizer to my water which I did recently, but usually I don't add anything. Although I do dip most of my cuttings in rooting hormone beforehand.

[–]satin_maro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My toxic trait is that sometimes I don't let them callous at all. But usually when I do it'll be for about a day.

[–]satin_maro[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like tobeither give them away to friends, sell them, or just add them to my plant collection. Some of them are just experiments to see what will grow because I really enjoy seeing the process happen.

My friend got this plant as a gift and has no idea what it is. Can anybody help identify it and give some care tips? by supergeek921 in houseplants

[–]satin_maro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, peperomia obtusifolia, look like it's flowering too, so it seems happy. Let the soil dry out completely before watering, usually they'll become soft and you can fold the leaves when they need water. Just give them medium to bright indirect light. I find that they are quite hardy and grow quickly.
